It mightn’t be the sexiest detox around, lacking its lemon cousin’s celeb ambassadors, but the liver detox is among the most helpful clean-out solutions, according to Naturopath Jacqueline Evans.

“It seems the more far-fetched the diet is, the more attractive it is to people desperate for improved health,” she says.

“The liver is the primary organ which filters the blood and metabolises any toxins present. In reality we are not detoxing the liver, we are providing the liver with the right raw materials it needs to complete its phase one and two detoxification pathways effectively."

Evans says there is a building body of evidence to support specific nutrients and their benefit to the liver detoxification pathways. She recommends would-be liver cleansers read Sandra Cabot’s The Healthy Liver & Bowel Book.
